- 0:02Speaker 1: aren't there any good teen TV shows anymore?
- 0:06Speaker 2: Well, let's ask our American mamas.
- 0:20Speaker 1: And joining us now are American Mama's train Edible and
- 0:22Speaker 1: Kimberly Burlison. You know, we were talking about this off
- 0:25Speaker 1: air and y'all said something and I went, Now, the
- 0:29Speaker 1: Sydney Sweeney TV show Euphoria is considered a teen TV show. Yeah,
- 0:36Speaker 1: it's it's like next to NC seventeen. I mean, it's.
- 0:40Speaker 3: It's soft porn.
- 0:41Speaker 4: It's so grand, like gone to the days of Saved
- 0:43Speaker 4: by the Bill. Yeah, you know, because that was our
- 0:46Speaker 4: It's disgusting. I saw this show as getting There's so
- 0:49Speaker 4: many reels about it. There's so many, so of course
- 0:52Speaker 4: I'm interested. I don't know the depths of it, you know,
- 0:54Speaker 4: so I'm in. I'm like, well, maybe this is a
- 0:56Speaker 4: show i'd be interested in, not having any idea. They're
- 0:58Speaker 4: supposed to be high schoolers, right, So then I this
- 1:02Speaker 4: is what I do with a lot of movies. If
- 1:03Speaker 4: I really don't want to see it, I start reading
- 1:06Speaker 4: all the episodes. Okay, I start, you know, before I
- 1:08Speaker 4: even think I want to watch something. I know it's
- 1:10Speaker 4: like a spoiler, but I like, I do that. I
- 1:12Speaker 4: read all the episodes and I'm reading them and the
- 1:15Speaker 4: characters and my jaw is on the ground. This is disgusting.
- 1:21Speaker 5: Isn't this the show where her character gets an OnlyFans page?
- 1:25Speaker 4: Yes?
- 1:25Speaker 5: Okay, yes, so how is that the same as as
- 1:29Speaker 5: Saved by the Bell.
- 1:30Speaker 4: I mean, it's it's just so messed up. The crazy
- 1:33Speaker 4: thing is you see people online that say, this is
- 1:37Speaker 4: why are we acting like? This isn't normal? This is
- 1:40Speaker 4: And I'm like, what do you mean? This isn't normal?
- 1:42Speaker 4: This is not normal, But because they think it is,
- 1:46Speaker 4: it's almost like making it okay, like these yes, well,
- 1:50Speaker 4: it's like these kids are believing this is normal behavior
- 1:53Speaker 4: and getting themselves. We're seeing so much sadness and people
- 1:57Speaker 4: that are on mental health drugs now, and I truly
- 2:00Speaker 4: believe that shows like this are what is lending itself
- 2:04Speaker 4: to it. Yeah, yeah, because they think it's normal.
- 2:07Speaker 3: I watched this podcast. It's not political. It's a pop
- 2:11Speaker 3: culture podcast by Marring Callahan called The Nerve, and she's
- 2:15Speaker 3: been breaking this down. This is why I know what
- 2:17Speaker 3: it's about, because it's not something I would watch, but
- 2:20Speaker 3: she was breaking it down. And this is what I
- 2:22Speaker 3: thought was fascinating. The man who directs this show is
- 2:27Speaker 3: a raging liberal, and Sidney Sweeney, although we don't know
- 2:31Speaker 3: for sure, people think that she is conservative. And apparently
- 2:36Speaker 3: she's the you know, the lead in this particular show.
- 2:39Speaker 3: And he's putting her in positions to look absolutely, you know,
- 2:44Speaker 3: to be humiliated, trying to humiliate her and like stucking
- 2:47Speaker 3: her own toes and putting it you know, barking like
- 2:50Speaker 3: a dog and you know, wearing just the tail in
- 2:53Speaker 3: the right place, and you know, eating stuff out of
- 2:55Speaker 3: a bowl.
- 2:56Speaker 5: And this is stuff that's actually in this latest season,
- 2:59Speaker 5: which is the season after it's come out that she's
- 3:01Speaker 5: more of a of a consumer.
- 3:02Speaker 3: I didn't even know that. I thought this was the
- 3:04Speaker 3: first season.
- 3:04Speaker 5: That's I've been reading some of the stuff. I thought
- 3:07Speaker 5: this is the latest.
- 3:09Speaker 3: Yeah, so so you know more than I do. But
- 3:11Speaker 3: she's been breaking it down. And when you think about it,
- 3:14Speaker 3: because she said, there is Appatoe, there's a there's a daughter.
- 3:19Speaker 3: There's a nefo baby that's an actress in this in
- 3:23Speaker 3: that in this picture or in this show, this actor's
- 3:27Speaker 3: daughter is Apatow. Yes, his daughter is in it, and
- 3:32Speaker 3: Maureen was saying, if you watch, she's never ever put
- 3:36Speaker 3: in a position to be humiliated. She's always uh in
- 3:40Speaker 3: the position to look bigger than like she's like the straightened.
- 3:45Speaker 4: You know, the straight name yes character.
- 3:50Speaker 3: And she said, I just think it's so interesting how
- 3:52Speaker 3: Appatoe's daughter is not going to be made to be
- 3:55Speaker 3: licking out, you know, someone else's toes or looking her
- 3:57Speaker 3: own toes. And she feels like this is just a
- 4:01Speaker 3: slap to conservatives, like I'm gonna look what I'm doing.
- 4:05Speaker 5: One.
- 4:06Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah.
- 4:07Speaker 4: I feel like there's a lot of sexual deviance. I
- 4:10Speaker 4: feel like there's a lot of people that are making
- 4:11Speaker 4: movies that are also having actors that are looked as
- 4:15Speaker 4: very masculine in gay roles because they want to see
- 4:18Speaker 4: them in those roles. I feel like there is a
- 4:21Speaker 4: real concerted effort in humiliating them in a way. I
- 4:26Speaker 4: don't know why. They say yes, and they do it,
- 4:28Speaker 4: you know, trying to stretch it, trying to stretch their.
- 4:30Speaker 3: Here's my question, do you think that there will come
- 4:34Speaker 3: a day that Sydney Sweeney will regret I do taking
- 4:37Speaker 3: this role? I do? And then if she does regret it,
- 4:40Speaker 3: how do you think she'll respond when people bring it
- 4:42Speaker 3: up to her. Do you think she'd ever come clean
- 4:45Speaker 3: and go, I don't know why I did all that.
- 4:47Speaker 3: My family was just horrified, or they just say, well,
- 4:49Speaker 3: that was arts, that's just But you think that she
- 4:52Speaker 3: will regret.
- 4:53Speaker 4: I feel I think that the regret comes when they
- 4:55Speaker 4: have their own children, when they have their own lives, Like,
- 4:58Speaker 4: how do you explain to your children why you put
- 5:00Speaker 4: yourself in that situation? I think now it's all about art,
- 5:03Speaker 4: that's what they all say. It's all for the art.
- 5:05Speaker 4: And then you'll see that a lot of awards are
- 5:07Speaker 4: given to people in shows where they are stretched that way,
- 5:11Speaker 4: where it's where it's just the to me, hitting situations
- 5:15Speaker 4: that are not normal.
- 5:17Speaker 3: Well, Lena Dunham has a book out and she had
- 5:20Speaker 3: that show Girls. She talked about her parents taking her
- 5:23Speaker 3: to an art show. I can't think of the name
- 5:25Speaker 3: of it, but they all went when she was like
- 5:27Speaker 3: nine years old, and they showed that. Marin Callahan showed
- 5:30Speaker 3: the video the man was under a house getting himself.
- 5:36Speaker 3: Oh god, and that was art and she's now art watching.
- 5:40Speaker 5: This Oh no, yeah.
- 5:42Speaker 3: So these are the people that are now writing the books,
- 5:44Speaker 3: doing the movies and you see why because if you
- 5:46Speaker 3: watched Girls, it was all about the deviant stuff too.
- 5:50Speaker 2: Yeah, that wasn't a.
- 5:51Speaker 5: Teen show either.
